I saw that this morning and the dep is useless. xcb-proto only installs .xml descriptions of the X11 protocol, nothing that cairo can use directly.

In fact, cairo doesn't even check for xcb-proto at all.

The dep can be removed.

Thanks

cairo uses xcb bits. Where did the xcb headers go?

libxcb generates, builds and installs both C headers and libraries. xcb-proto only contains .xml descriptions of the protocol along with a few python libs to help writing parsers.

This is unlike the old X libs where [package]proto ships actual C headers that are #included by libX[package].

Cheers
